Description
The authors present an improved iterative method for deriving temperature corrections in stellar atmospheres. At each step of iteration, the procedure computes, from the current values of the radiation field, a set of depth-dependent factors, averaged over angles and frequencies. Even a crude initial estimate of the radiation field leads to a fairly accurate determination of these factors on the first iteration: they are quasi-invariant in subsequent iterations. For a range of effective temperatures the procedure quickly converges to the correct solution of the radiative transfer equation. At each iteration, the temperature distribution is directly derived via the energy conservation constraint.

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    Aims: We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for galaxy clusters. Methods: Given any set of photometric bands, we developed a method for the
